They Postponed Their Wedding When He Was Deployed To Iraq... But WOW Was It Worth The Wait

From The Bride:

On April 22nd, 2017, I married my soulmate. Our wedding day was the perfect fulfillment of a dream.  Something out of a fairytale. When we met four years ago, Bo was in the process of commissioning to be an Officer in the US Army, and I was living my life on the East Coast in New York City.  A trip home to family for Christmas changed that for the both of us.

We have spent far too many nights apart in our 4 years, but the challenges we have faced due to the time and distance away from one another has only deepened our love. Bo and I moved to Nashville together two years ago, and he proposed in what has become our favorite city. We began planning our October wedding until we were notified that Bo would be deploying to Iraq in the early spring of 2016.  After a painful goodbye, I spent 267 days without him.  I spent those days praying for his safety, planning our wedding, and dreaming of the day I would be with him again.   

We are both so very thankful for the friends and family who traveled to Nashville to share this day with us.  Thank you for making us feel loved and celebrated as we start this journey together as husband and wife.  As my husband says, our love story…is our favorite story.  Thank you Brandon Rice Films for giving the gift of our story back to us.  We loved every second of it.
